The move will take place in November and will affect 76 workers at national contractor Wincanton.

All affected Wincanton employees have been given the option to transfer with their current role to the new site, just inside the M25 motorway.

"Should the proposal go ahead, all affected Wincanton employees will have the option to transfer with their current role to the new site.

"We are entering into immediate consultation with affected employees."
